Regardless of how you carry -- train, train, train. If there is any doubt go to YouTube and look up "Armed Customer stops armed robber in Wisconsin." This gentleman is carrying with an empty chamber; however, he has not trained himself to rack the slide when he draws his pistol. At the cri...

We've been doing the Short Range Match for over a year and I am very pleased at what it has become. You can shoot any pistol, loaded to capacity, that you legitimately carry. If you carry a 50 Desert Eagle then come on out! If you are ever in San Antonio or Austin on the second Sunday of the month p...

O. Lee James, III wrote: Part of situational awareness is political and social awareness. Do your own due diligence and decide for yourself how best to go about your life. Concealed--what's so hard to understand? I believe the open carry concerns will slowly drift away over time just like the hand ...

The Sig P238, the P938, and the old standby S&W J frame are all excellent. If you are well accustomed to the 1911-style controls , either Sig is fine. If you normally carry a pistol without a thumb safety I would go with the S&W J-frame. The S&W 642 is light weight and easy to carry. Und...

Hope this helps. I am not an attorney and I am not offering any legal advice. Conduct is justified if: (1) the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm; (2) the desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standard...

The issue would be shooting a plated bullet at a high enough velocity to shed the plating would likely deposit excessive lead/copper in the bore. High pressure rounds such as the 10mm firing a plated bullet fast enough to strip the plating and essentially turn the bullet into a blob of lead could cr...

My "you've got to be kidding" experience for the week. I was the Safety Officer for an IDPA squad today at the local match. It was a close range rifle match that had some pistol transitions. One gentleman fired a stage that required engaging two targets with two pistol shots each. When we ...

The AR pistol is a rifle with a short barrel; however, the law in this case works in our benefit by categorizing this AR configuration as a pistol. The buffer tube on the AR pistol is an integral part of the weapon and necessary for function; therefore, it is not a stock. An AK pistol, the Kel-Tec P...
